Consecutive Eating

Throughout my childhood nausea, constipation and reflux were constant. I thought they were 'normal' responses to food and that everyone experienced them. My mother thought I was a hypochondriac due to my incessant complaining of stomach aches. It wasn't until my late 30s when I started to observe my PHS of Consecutive that I experienced no ill effects from eating, in fact, I felt nothing at all after a meal. It was astounding to observe this lack of sensation in my body.
My PHS is the most rigid — I have to eat only whole foods as plain as I can muster and only 1 thing at a time— no mixing or back and forth eating. No fat, no salt, no sauces just raw, boiled or roasted veggies with meat or eggs. For the first 3 years it was super hard, as I grew up conditioned to love modern food with sauces and mixed with lots of ingredients. Now that I am in year 7 of mostly eating according to my design, those conditioned foods no longer appeal to me. I am addicted to feeling well and that tastes better than any dish I grew up loving to eat.
What I eat may seem boring to most folks but I am used to it— I eat to live and no longer live to eat. It's freeing and I appreciate that. My breakfast is the same every day- plain vegetables and eggs or meat. I no longer eat oatmeal or cereals but gosh do I feel great. When I think back about my childhood and how much time I spent unwell due to my eating, and then the 15 years as a young adult trying to get well, I get angry. If my mother understood HD and fed my correctly, I would not have spent so much time having to heal myself. Now, I know this is my perfect journey, especially as a 3 line ( here to learn from disaster ), so I focus on what I have learned and strive to help any parent willing to listen and learn how to feed their child correctly. I hope this story helps you or someone you know to find the courage and wisdom to step outside of the box and honor the uniqueness of their child. Be well!
